Chapter 739: Shoot Yourself in the Foot (Ask for Subscription!) )
Hearing the sound of the horn outside, Henry and the others all shouted and jumped excitedly. They should indeed cheer, they have been trapped for two whole days, without food or drink in this miserable environment, and they must be mentally prepared to die at any time, and everyone will have to bear great physical and psychological pressure.
In this environment, it is impossible for anyone to hold out for long, and the reason why these people have not collapsed is entirely because of the forbidden spell released by the previous Holy See's magician group, otherwise the team would have dispersed a long time ago. But even so, the support has reached the limit today, and if there is no way out, they may not be able to hold on.
Henry was already aware of the situation, so he thought of the last hole card in his hand. When His Majesty the Pope came this time, he had already expected that things would not be smooth sailing, and the east was a vacuum area for the Holy See's forces, and for the Holy See, the East was a mysterious barren land, and now their people wanted to go to the East to snatch the treasure with great fanfare, I am afraid it would not be so easy, and those natives in the East would definitely not be willing.
Therefore, in order to increase the probability of success in the treasure hunt, and also to ensure the safety of Henry and others, the Pope sent Henry and others at the same time, and asked the two cardinal archbishops of the Holy See who had already left their posts to set off with another group of masters, so that they could secretly follow the ships of Henry and others, ready to rescue at any time.
Originally, Henry planned to use these people to plot against Philip and the others, after all, it would definitely be a great achievement to eliminate the two members of the Dark Council, but no one expected that they would be trapped in this terrifying array after entering the ruins. As a last resort, Henry had to expose his hole cards in advance.
Looking at the guys in the big array jumping and jumping, Xu Yinglong's face was full of disdain. Although it is said that Henry's reinforcements are strong. But don't forget, the road to the inner palace has been basically blocked by those terrible sea creatures. If this support unit wants to enter the ruins and rescue Henry and the others. You have to go face-to-face with these sea creatures.
Although the individual strength of those sea creatures is average, Xu Yinglong has seen its huge group base, Xu Yinglong has seen the scene of the outbreak of the beast tide with his own eyes, and the individual strength of those demon beasts is also not very high, maybe there are only dozens of high-level demon beasts above the sixth order among the millions of demon beasts. However, due to the sheer number of these monsters, some large cities are often in ruins due to a beast tide.
Now it is no exception, in front of tens of thousands of sea creatures, this mere 200-odd reinforcement force is too small and too few. According to normal circumstances, it is impossible for these people to kill at all, and even if they do, they will suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, Xu Yinglong had already seen the composition of their forces. There were only a few dozen knights, and the rest were all magicians. It's not that mages aren't strong in combat, but mages aren't melee after all, and mages have always stood behind warriors or knights to attack from afar, and I've never seen anyone charge into battle with mages. With such a force composition, it is very unlikely that they will quickly break through the defenses of those sea creatures and enter the ruins.
Sure enough, the force was besieged by sea creatures before they could reach the landing site, but luckily their ship was specially built, otherwise it would have been sunk.
But that's it. While countless sea creatures climbed onto the side of the cruise ship, the magicians of the West were struggling to cope.
Just when the Holy See's reinforcements attacked the city gate, Henry and the others in the big array couldn't sit still and began to move. Xu Yinglong knew that the time had come to really decide the winner. Although Xu Yinglong still believed in his combat effectiveness, he didn't dare to be too conceited, after all, there were not only these Western masters in it. There are also quite a few forces in the East.
Xu Yinglong has always believed that the first strike is strong, and the second strike will suffer. In order not to let himself suffer, Xu Yinglong decided to take the lead. Take advantage of the fact that these guys in the big array don't feel anything. Xu Yinglong urged the big array again.
The flat ground in the middle of the great array suddenly began to sink, while the surrounding terrain began to rise, and at the same time it began to rain in the sky. By the time Henry and the others reacted, the surrounding terrain had basically taken shape, and a huge valley about a few hundred meters deep appeared in front of them, and all of them were at the bottom of the valley.
Rainwater flows down the walls of the valley and then slowly collects to the bottom of the valley. The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon a large amount of water poured down, and the water level in the valley gathered and soared by nearly one meter in just over ten minutes.
Seeing that the rain had reached their thighs, everyone panicked again, they couldn't forget what they had experienced in this horrible place for the past two days. If this trend continues, it won't be long before this valley will turn into a lake, or even an ocean, and they will all die.
No one wanted to die, so people rushed out of the valley, hoping to get out of this terrible place as quickly as possible. But after running for a few minutes, everyone was shocked to find that the valley mouth, which seemed to be close at hand, was far away in the sky, and no matter how they accelerated, the distance did not shorten in the slightest.
Seeing that the water trail has reached the waist, if you don't want to escape anymore, it's too late to run.
A few old men with high cultivation thought of the mountain wall, although the cliffs on both sides were relatively steep, but with their cultivation, they would not be unable to climb up. The first to act was the vampire duke, who changed his previous grace and transformed into a huge bat as fast as he could, and then flew towards the cliffs on either side.
Seeing Duke Fox transform and fly up the cliff, the vampires belonging to the Dark Council did the same, all completed the transformation in the shortest possible time, and then flew to the cliff.
However, before the vampires could rejoice for two minutes, dark clouds suddenly rolled in the sky, and then huge thunderbolts fell from the sky, and several unlucky people were bombarded by lightning before they could even react.
Looking at the vampires who were scorched, everyone's envious eyes suddenly turned into sympathy. This Nima is too terrifying, the end of the world!
The storm continued, and the lightning that swept through the sky from time to time smashed into everyone's hearts like a hammer, and everyone was stumped by the predicament in front of them.
At this moment, a small group of people suddenly went in the opposite direction, and instead of heading in the direction of the mouth of the valley, they turned their heads into the valley. Xu Yinglong was taken aback, the door of this large array of broken formations was in this direction, did these people find this or did the blind cat run into a dead mouse by chance.
But when he saw these dozen people clearly, Xu Yinglong was happy, these people were none other than Huang Sicheng and others. Indeed, if you want to say that the formation of the earth is indeed declining, the main reason is that there is a lack of spirit stones on the earth for the formation. Xu Yinglong had also seen other earth monks arrange formations before, and he found that the formation mages on the earth did not use spirit stones, but used jade and jade as a medium, and used themselves as a source of spiritual power to arrange the formation.
Although this is okay, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, manpower is sometimes poor. The spiritual power in a monk's body is very limited, so the emphasis on arranging the formation is to use the strength and use the potential, and it is impossible to support it for a long time by relying on one's own strength alone.
It is precisely because of this reason that it has directly led to the gradual decline of the formations on the earth, and even Xu Yinglong has only seen a half-hung array mage since he was reborn on the earth for so long, which shows how much the decline is.
However, Huang Sicheng and the others are different, they have always followed Xu Yinglong to practice, so whether it is a pill or a spirit stone, Xu Yinglong is open to supply. Since Xu Yinglong's own formation attainments are also quite superb, there are indeed a few people in the adjudication team who are specifically interested in formation.
In addition, the formation itself arranged by Xu Yinglong at this time is not particularly complicated, and two full days have passed, so it is reasonable for them to see a little flaw. Seeing that Huang Sicheng and the others tried their best to persuade others to act with them, Xu Yinglong had an urge to vomit blood, and the apprentices he taught were using the things he taught them to break the formation he had laid out, and he was completely shooting himself in the foot.
However, it may be because they are too young, so although Huang Sicheng and the others tried their best to invite and explain the benefits, except for the old man Gong of the Heavenly Demon Sect and his disciples, no one else was willing to follow Huang Sicheng and the others.
